My private little space.. Abandoned.. When was the last time I updated my blog? I can’t remember.*sigh*
Well, for those wondering out there, I’m still here. Alive and well, still kicking and screaming on the stage of various FF clubs. Life has been good. Work has been kind of hectic. Yesterday was the day when my company did Internal Auditing. My project was chosen and there were some outstanding issues identified and needed to be taken care of. However since we are in school holidays season now, most of the relevant officers are practically on leave. So you see, it’s quite hard for me to speed up my work and get things done quickly when these people are not around to assist me.
The more reason why I should update my blog, right? He he he..
Since I haven’t updated my blog for quite A LONG time (the latest entry was about LM’s Quarterly 2) I think this entry is going to slightly long and err, boring (LOL).
Can you bear that? Then lets go! *wink*
Lets start with May babies.. I have to confess here that this month is actually THE MONTH when I burnt that super large hole in my pocket. I found myself fishing out what’s left in my poor thin wallet every now and then just to ensure I’d get to give all approriate gifts to my dear beloved friends. This also means, no shopping for this month and next month!*sigh* Anyway, just wanna take this opportunity to wish "Happy Birthday" to my great buddies; Colin, Alvin, Clement and Janet- all marvelous May babies! Thanks for being a good friend and I do hope our friendship last as long as forever *hugs*.. I had splendid times at the gatherings, especially at Clement’s ’spacious’ venue (LOL). Next time, rent a tent la okay?
Next will be my constant Thursdays affair. I’ve been attending ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ (SYTYCD) live show in Ruums, KL every Thursdays from 9.30pm to 11.00om without fail since 10th May 2007. Thanks to Jimmy’s ever-super-efficient-and-pretty-Ms Claire for getting the VIP tickets to all of us (Jimmy’s supporter yo!). Claire has been a great help to Jimmy and all his suporters (that’s us!). Her management skills are awesome and the way she organised things are so efficient! Way to go Claire! Job well done! Love you for your great efforts!*hugs & kisses*
About the show.. WOW. I mean super WOW with capital W okay. I never imagined any Malaysians would be able to dance like THAT, honestly! Did I ever mention that I initially planned to go to the audition but cancelled it because I was sick? Now I feel so GLAD I didn’t go cause I would’ve embarrased myself big time in front of these mighty talented dancers with my lame moves! I think the Top 20 are all good dancers. Infact, some are VERY good dancers with great potentials I must say. Surprisingly, SYTYCD Malaysia actually do have awesome choreographers whom produced awesome choreographies. WELL DONE GUYS! Oh, I love this show to bits! I hope Jimmy would last in the competition till final comes. Really hope for the best for him! For those who would like to know more about your favourite contestants, judges (like that hot Yannus for example, ha ha), choreographers (oh Manuela is THE BOMB ok!), the crews or just want to know more about the show and the the hot saucy gossips you can always go to Rentak Sejuta forum and read the information there. Feel free to register and drop your comments there! The more the merrier!*wink*
Enough on SYTYCD, now I want to talk about the great time SPK, Tony and me had last Tuesday in SPK’s Back To School BodyJam Theme class! Tony and I teamed up together for the 7.40pm BodyJam slot in SPK on 22nd May 2007, AND what a blast we had with the members there! Many turned up in their normal workout attire *sigh*, but there were some who actually dressed up accoding to the theme. WELL DONE! Thanks folks, you guys were such a great sport! There were balloons everywhere, on the ceilings, at the pillars, along the edge of the stage, ON the mirrors…I almost popped one of the balloons at stage’s edge when I did my track. One cluster of balloons fell off the mirror cause I repeatedly smacked it with my hands and sometimes my head *LOL*.. The balloons were distracting but definitely lovely *smiles*. The members went crazy in BodyJam 36’s Club Cardio (presented by yours truly) in the first half, and went loco all the way in BodyJam 35’s Dancehall Cardio by Tony in the subsequent second half. Great job done SPK people! Special thanks to Nick Heng (SPK’s GXC) for giving me the opportunity to conduct such ‘happening theme class’ in SPK! Loved every minute of it!
Since we’re talking about BodyJam, I think it’s worth for m to share this one unpleasant experience of mine with you guys. Last Friday, 25th May 2007, was the very day I cancelled my BodyJam class for the FIRST TIME ever. Never had I imagine that I would have done such a thing! But last Friday was the day when I couldn’t take control of the matters in my hand and had to cancel the class. Let me clarify on what actually happened that day.
Friday, 25th May 2007, at about 4pm, it was raining constantly in KL. It was not heavy, but it was raining quite steadily. I was out of the office. I accompanied Bard to this Money Changer at Odeon (now changed to City Bazaar) since he doesn’t know where the premise was located. I received a call from my office enquiring my whereabouts. After clarifying certain issues, I rushed back to my office to meet my boss. Apparently, I was chosen to be audited on Monday (28th May 2007) and the name of the project to be audited has been included in the list. I was surprised as the project file for the proposed project had just returned to my Department that very Friday evening. I was informed around 3pm by the Department’s clerk that all documents and relevant project files were successfully sent to my Department that day and I can collect it either that Friday evening (25th May), or next Monday morning (28th May) from the PA’s office. And funnily enough, I was informed by my boss at 4.30pm that that particular project is listed in the Internal Auditing on 28th May and therefor I MUST TAKE necessary actions to avoid any Non-Conformance Report (NCR).
Yes, why not? Vetting through that one-inch thick file is very easy. Easy peasy. What more if we get the instruction in such short notice. *note the sarcasm here*
So, what happened next was very much easy to imagine. I tried to examine critically each and every contents of the project file and updated related checklists. Everything was cramped in 45-mins of top speed work, starting from 5pm that is. I supposed to finish work at 5.30pm, but only managed to leave my office at 5.45pm.
To make matters worse, it was jammed very, very, very badly in Kuala Lumpur. The traffic was extremely horrendous! I was stuck in Mahameru from 6pm until 6.50pm! My Uptown class was supposed to start at 6.30pm. I called the frontdesk at 6.05pm, asking his favour to tell the members that I was going to be late. I also told him that I will try to make it to Uptown, no matter how late I will be. I even changed from my baju kurung to my workout attire in my car, okay.
However, the traffic was ONLY inching forward in every 10-minute gap at that time. After I realized that the location of our car remained the same as where we were 15 minutes ago, I decided to call the frontdesk again.
This time, it was a lady who answered my call. I told her my whereabouts, and she LAUGHED as soon as she heard my location. She said, ‘There’s no way you’re gonna make it to Uptown in the next five minutes’..Clever girl. And then she continued, ‘I cakap dengan members yang you stuck dalam bad traffic and have to cancel the class aje lah ye?’.. Again, clever girl. So I cancelled the class :(… I really wanted to go to Uptown and personally apologize to the members there for the last minute cancellation. But I had the feeling that I’d only going to reach Uptown after 7.30pm. It’s not going to be beneficial to anybody if I’m appeared there after 7.30pm. BodyCombat class usually starts at 7.30pm..Regular Jammers will definitely won’t be there anymore. Sad, sad..:(..Anyway, as I predicted, our car only reached Uptown’s area at around 7.40pm. Terrible terrible traffic jam. Luckily I had my dear Azyei on the phone all the way from Mahameru to Damansara Toll (Bard wasn’t in takling mood because of the bad traffic he he). Thanks girl for lending your ears that evening! Nasib baik you tak jumpa Sus-Tiram kan? He he he..
Well guys, that’s all I suppose. It’s like a novel isn’t it? A very bad one I must say, he he.. Anyway, can’t wait for the Miracle Charity Event this coming 16th June at The Curve! I will be in the BodyJam Launch Team and will be shadowing with the new BodyJam Head Teacher - The Ever Bootylicious Leonora (congratulations babe! you sooo deserve it!) and the awesome SK-II Jammer - Kenny for the launching of BodyJam Release 41! WOOT! Check it out y’all!
Can’t Wait!;D
